Completely different skis.

ANT's are backcountry chargers, hardly any sidecut (or none?) and stiff, ie big lines.
Jps are softer and meant for backcountry jibbing.

The ANTs are turny-er and stiffer. Though they aren't as stiff as they used to be, the ultralight core makes them softer than the originals. Personally, unless you are doing a lot of BC booters, I think the ANTs are a better all-around ski. They do suffer a bit in the trees though.
